Daily Dialogue — November 8, 2019

“So, that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper. And those three people in Brainerd. And for what? For a little bit of money? There’s more to life than a little money, you know. Don’tcha know that? And here ya are, and it’s a beautiful day. Well. I just don’t understand it.”

— Fargo (1996), written by Ethan Coen, Joel Coen

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Driving. Today’s suggestion by @runghawoo and @FlipbookMPC.

Trivia: When Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) character calls Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) for the deal to be done, he tells him, “Thirty minutes, and we’ll wrap this up.” From that moment, the film’s running time left is exactly 30 minutes.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Gaear doesn’t say one word in this scene. It’s all up to Marge while driving to try to sum up the insanity and inanity of what has transpired in Brainerd, Minnesota the last few days.
